A tradition of cartographic excellence in Paris
The Andriveau-Goujon firm produced maps and atlases of exceptional quality, distinguished by their precision and meticulous execution. The company's offices were located at 4, rue du Bac in Paris. Although the firm's name evolved through successive family successions, notably with the names J. Goujon and J. Andriveau, it was under the leadership of Eugène Andriveau-Goujon that the company achieved international renown.
World reference publications
The publisher's work is marked by major publications that served as references for the geography of the time. Among his most notable contributions are:
- L'Classic and Universal Atlas, a comprehensive work regularly revised to incorporate the latest geographical discoveries.
- Large format wall maps intended for teaching and administration.
- Detailed maps of Paris, documenting the urban development of the capital during the Second Empire and the Third Republic.
Evolution and legacy of the house
At the end of the 19th century, the company's business and engraving plates were acquired by other publishers. In 1892, part of the production was taken over by the publisher Barrère. Subsequently, Andriveau-Goujon's work was included in the catalogs of the Girard and Barrère publishing houses, and later by Taride, thus ensuring the survival of his cartographic data long after his death in 1897.
